When Gloucester Catholic High School's Nick Marks started to swim competitively five years ago, he never imagined himself standing atop the podium as a state champion.

After a standout dual- and major- meet season, the senior topped off his high school career winning a gold medal at the Individual State Championships, also called the Meet of Champions, signifying him as the best 100-yard butterfly swimmer in New Jersey. Coupled with his second-place finish in the 50 freestyle, and other major meet championships, Marks has been selected the 2012-13 Courier-Post Boys' Swimmer of the Year.
